Returning after a two year hiatus, any advice for Marauder?

[DavidWAAAGH]

Hello guys,

I'm playing again after a 2 year hiatus lol. I don't know what changed with the class and I literally have no idea which renown passives should I get, stats, build, etc. Should I keep leveling via RvR or PQ's?

I always played AoE Monstro, I'm lvl 36 right now and RR lvl 31.

Thanks!

Hi! Normally your objective should be to reach R40 with RR41+. Since you are already 36/31 you will probably reach R40 with RR40- and thus you can't wear competitive gear. I would suggest you to try to farm ruin* set. Once you reach R40 I would suggest you to try to find a guild/group and experience a little of organized RvR/SC to level fast. About Mara build I can't say much, only got a R17 mara.

*You can farm ruin in T4 PQ

Hey there, monstro spec is still good for wb fight otherwise sava/brut is still the best for small scale fights .
They turned terrible embrace ( pull ) from int stat to strength stat so instead of disrupt now your pull can be parried, pretty fair since Mara is pure str dps class.
They nerfed hard TB 3 times ( thunderous blow ) and draining swipe ( right now pretty useless )
After all Mara still rules, pretty hard to play then others dps but still good.
If you still monstro you can reach lvl 40 in pve with out any problems ( pqs are good in t4 )

As renown abilities go futile strikes/ crit ( Mara sucks on initiative) then you can choose between dodge/disrupt ( pretty good in wb fights and also you got a 10% disrupt tactic )
Also they removed mutations procs from toss axe, they said “ Mara is too strong “

Wow... they changed a lot. I'm playing right now Monstro. It helps a lot in RvR. Thanks for writing the renown abilities, I always went full toughness/wounds before, I liked the def mara because the class is tanky in monstro. Now, I know which renown abilities should I use. Thank you!

Wounds helps a lot in wb vs wb fights and you can stack thougness as well.
Mara monstro doesn’t deal high damage but you gonna kill all enemy morale/ap with the proper build ( sava for exhaustive strikes tactic and rest in monstro for morale drain tactic ).
Some sets are very good for aoe mara ( onslaught gives you some critical reduction, wounds bonus and wounds proc ).
